Overheard at my local Foxtail Coffee: “Voting for him [Trump] was the biggest fucking mistake of my life.” No idea what drove him to say that, but whatever it was, I can’t feel much sympathy. So many Trump supporters are fine with other people getting hurt, and only get upset when they’re impacted.

J. D. Vance just made a horrible speach in Munich, endorsing fascism and the Germany's leader just said "fuck you" in a very diplomatic speech. Trump has chosen Russia over NATO. What an abandonment of everything our country stands for.

We are watching in real time as these anarchists are aggressively seeking to destroy the legitimacy of our judicial system. Musk is feeding the lie to his millions on his hateful platform that the courts have no right to tell Trump what to do. This must be opposed.

Why aren’t a lot more Democrats standing up LOUDLY and FORCEFULLY to Trump and his agenda? At the very least, they should be holding daily press conferences talking about rising egg, coffee and gas prices; Trump’s blatantly illegal executive orders; and how he’s destroying America’s global standing.
